Reversed Roles
Chapter 3
Clothing
"Morning already?" she spoke groggily into the morning air. Why does the morning come so early? Well, that was a stupid thought. Better get up… I have a photo shoot at noon. Thus began her morning dance. First, she untangled the bed covers, which had seemingly entwined her into a loose but knotted cocoon. After that, she stared into her closet.
As a model you must always be in fashion, but the closet was as big as her room, and she had rows of clothing to choose from. Thus, a thirty-minute decision would be needed for her to pick out her outfit. Kagome eventually chose out her favorite black skirt and then went in search of the bustier that always made her look stunning. On her third trip around the room, Kagome gave up and ran out of the closet to find Kaede; she always knew where everything was in the house. On some level, Kaede had become Kagome's surrogate mother, the difference being that she was, in fact, paid for her
As Kagome turned the corner into the hall, she abruptly smashed into something. A flash of pink filled her sight momentarily as she waited for her vision to clear. "Funny I don't remember there being a wall there.." she mumbled. Pushing herself away from the object, she realized her mistake.
"Good morning, here was your breakfast." Sesshomaru said looking at the mess on the floor. "Rethinking that skirt looks like a good idea."
"What's wrong with my skirt? I happen to like it… now if only I can find my bustier, then my outfit will be complete and I can eat breakfast—Kaede?! Where are you?"
"She's not here. She trained me this morning before leaving to see her nephew, Shippou."
"Hrmph," she thought, "well unless you know where the bustier is…" she took his silence as a no. "…then I'll have to pick another outfit. Great, another precious thirty minuets wasted."
"If I may?" he headed into the closet to pick out her clothing. Feeling her gaze, he said, "It would go faster if you weren't hovering about." She gave him a look of trepidation as she edged out of the closet, leaving the precious clothing with her new caretaker. She sat on her bed, shifting impatiently, and stood up abruptly after five minuets had passed. She didn't like leaving him in there, and for some odd reason the hairs on the back of her neck seemed to stand up soon after she had left them in there. She perceived another aura hovering about, something vaguely evil.
Sesshomaru thought momentarily, trying to remember her figure before beginning to search for an outfit. Since she was now safely out of the room, he could use his demonic speed to check out all the apparel in the room. On his second time around he had found two garments that suited his needs and halted near the closet entrance. There he considered their brief encounter in the hallway. She didn't even realize it but she had weakly tried to purify him. Although the touch's results were unintentional, his body still stung from where her hands had touched his chest. She must just be coming into her powers. Even though her powers are only just awakening, let's see if she will still notice if…. He relinquished the hold on his power, letting it flare out abruptly. Quickly, he replaced the shield again as he prepared for her approach. Kagome sprinted in, eyeing the room and making sure nothing was out of place.
"Will this do?" he asked lazily looking up from his selection to her and back again. He held a light blue top and a dark blue skirt. The asymmetrical top covered her one shoulder while cascading around the other, and the skirt reached her knees tapering just above her calves. Overall, she was quite pleased with Sesshomaru's selection, and but she wouldn't let him know that.
"It will do." She replied taking the garments from him. Hastily she changed, and, a little while later, made it just on time to her photo shoot.
We luff beta readers! Thanks to lost marble for editing this one.
BlueDove- Thanks very much I'll fix that error when the uploader decides to agree with my computer again… it doesn't want to add in the lines, or let me fix the formatting. Since I forgot to mention it was in Sessho's point of view for awhile. Well, the elegance is definitely a plus in my book. From most of my friends (most non-anime orientated for that matter) see him and first think he's a girl, and then assume he's gay. The poor guy, he is so misunderstood. I'd throw a party for him if he wouldn't strangle me. Hehe XD
inuyasha-n-kagome-rox142- Thanks, I rather like it myself. Although I'm open to any input on the story or criticism, so feel free. Throws you a plushie
Tigs: pulls Rouge out from the plot bunny pile You must concentrate! Answer A or B? This is a life threatening decision, make it now!

Thanks for reading chapter 3! I apologize for the format mess, the document uploaded is currently disagreeing with my computer and they are eagerly dueling for dominance. Please review; I welcome all comments, and criticism.
